@brigane Can you suggest any other people who do similar style widescreen bezels? Just want to make sure I haven't missed any.

@dizzle151 said in Help with bezel overlays not showing for GBC emulator, but working for NES and GB?!:

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I search and couldn't find anything.

I recently added overlays to my retropie emulators and have had perfect luck with NES and GB, however, my GBC emulator(s) will not show the bezels even though I can select them fine. I have tried all three GBC emulators with the same issue. All overlay files are stored in the correct folder.... Super confused as to why they'd work flawlessly with two emulators and not the third.

Please help! I am not overly technical, but have had no issues until this point. Thanks in advance!

Control in bezelname.cfg if the name contain "-" delete and rename Image name without "-"
Ex. Super-nintendo, Image file must Be "supernintendo" it work for me.

@Ninjaman The link is literally in the previous post - https://github.com/nono6493/overlays.

Since I've never heard of @capcob I repaired and retouched his pc myself. Colors were taken from photos of the real bezel.

I sadly cannot upload it here in its full glory, but it will be available at my post in https://forums.libretro.com/t/bezels-for-vertical-games-with-4-3-horizontal-screens/48516

Here's a 1024x768 preview of my work:

@corbidorbi said in Need help making GB screen smaller:

Of course that's buried in a bazillion other lines in the .CFG.

That's because you enabled 'Config Save on Exit' and all the configurations have been dumped in this file. You shouldn't do that, core options are saved by default (in a separate file) and for other options you use 'Save Core Override'.

Replace the retroarch.cfg file contents you have now in the gb folder with

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/gb/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

After that, start a game and use the RGUI to change the Video Settings, but use the Save Core Override option this time. Re-start the game and see if the changes persist.

Hint: you don't need to download the file from the RetroPie system, just use Samba Share from your Finder to open the \\retropie\configs\gb folder and edit the file directly.

Added MERCS

@prog-amateur I would also like to know the steps taken to add BGM to RetroPie. This would be a great feature to be added

Thanks so much everyone

@epicrean said in Bezels and sizing basic question:

I went through Retroarch and changed the X and Y position

Every overlay is made for a specific screen resolution (not for specific TV); e.g. 1080p, if both TVs are set to 1080p the overlays must display correctly on both.
On top of that each overlay has a viewport (actual game area) that is sized for specific game area scale (e.g. integer scale, 3x, etc). If your retroarch settings for a specific core are different than the settings the overlay was intended for then it will not display correctly.

Hey guys!

Due to different spelling I still have some games without overlays. So I edited the config files manually and found something.

SNES REPO
Game: Godzilla - Kaijuu Daikessen (Japan)
Issue: Missing overlay and mixed spelling
Desc: The file is in the config folder of the SNES repo but if you take a look inside it points to the CFG in the SFC overlay folder. The game name spelling is also different (Godzilla/Gojira). The problem is... there is neither in the SNES repo nor in the SFC a Godzilla/Gojira PNG or CFG in the overlay folder.

Game: Assault Suits Valken (Japan)
Issue: Missing overlay
Desc: Same as Godzilla - Kaijuu Daikessen (Japan)

Game: Super Boss Gaiden
Issue: completely missing

@timbone316 You probably have save_on_exit in RetroArch. Try to open the RGUI (Select + X) while ingame and disable this.
To revert to the Mame2003 default retroarch.cfg file, re-install the package from the RetroPie-setup script.

@mitu

Ill try that, just for fun. My intention is to set it in Kiosk eventually and leave it alone. Its not hard to SSH into the pi and change it if needed on occasion. ok, im an idiot. I was "assuming" that id press the buttons during the splashscreen, not in the second after it dissapears. It is working perfect. My misunderstanding. Thats an interesting idea, I will try and check it out, I will need to undo some things on the core options and move them but I feel this may actually work. I was obviously thinking too hard and forgot about the retroarch.cfg overrides. GREAT IDEA!

@kmetz7547 you could ask PiPiggies.

New release : v1.4

https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.4

Found out about Recalbox "complete" pack, so I grabbed a few more systems from there.

Adds a few systems: Atari 800, Atari ST, MSX1/2/Turbo, Odyssey2/Videopac, Supergrafx, Samcoupe, X1, ZX81. And also Apple 2 but the emulator is not Libretro, so it doesn't display it. Changes Channel F & PCFX

@Floob Thanks for stopping by! :)

The overlays I'm trying to convert are OrionsAngel's.
The only config files I have are the mameconfig and the mamelayout (in the zip)

I have generated the cfg just using the values in the mamelayout file, but they are pretty much all configured with the same values (unless my conversion script is wrong, which is possible), so I'm starting to think the values in the mameconfig file are important as well... but I just can't figure out what I should multiply.

For now I'm resigned to measure the values "by hand" in Photoshop (I have done about 20 of 250...) which will take some time but is not very hard.
